Chapter 146: Pre-warm-up
Lin Xue's computer screen.
γBeggarγ
"After the defeat against the Heavenly Dragon Sect, you were seriously injured and fell into a coma for several months before you woke up."
"When I woke up, it was like a world away. The Dragon King has conquered the Central Plains Martial Arts and become the overlord of the Martial Arts. β
"And all your martial arts have been abolished, and you have become a complete waste. Decent people were either imprisoned or mercilessly killed, the rivers and lakes were turbulent, and everyone was in danger. β
"You finally escaped the pursuit of the dragon king, but since then your life has been miserable, poor, begging everywhere, and you will ...... for the rest of your life"
The picture is a yellow-faced and thin beggar, crouched in the corner, his eyes seem to be full of unwillingness.
"Ahh What the heck! What the hell is this game! β
Lin Xue was so angry that she scratched her hair.
She has been playing this game for three days, but she lost in a key battle, and the ending screen pops up directly.
The protagonist is reduced to a beggar......
Like other games,Generally, after you die, there will be a "please make persistent efforts" or "victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers" interface,And then you can read the file and start again.,As a result, this game directly made this game over interface into an ending.,Greatly strengthened the player's sense of substitution.γ
Lin Xue is about to collapse, before the invasion of the Demon Sect, the protagonist was ordered by the master to convene the three major factions of Shaolin, Wudang, and the Beggar Gang to jointly fight against the Demon Sect, but these three major factions have not been convened yet, Lin Xue was planted, as for the plot of the martial arts conference behind, serving as the leader of the alliance, and crusading against the Demon Sect, I didn't even see it!
Lin Xue felt that she had been hurt by 10,000 points, and after three days of struggle, she ushered in such a tragic ending, which was simply unbearable for a person like Lin Xue who claimed to be a senior single-player player!
At this time, a voice said behind Lin Xue: "Tut-tut, the end of the beggar." β
Lin Xue turned her head and looked, wasn't this Chen Mo?
I don't know when Chen Mo appeared behind her, and there was a meaningful smile on his face.
Lin Xue stood up: "Ah! Aren't you Chen Mo! I've been waiting for you for days, why didn't you show up? β
Chen Mo was stunned: "What the hell, although I often go out these days, I spend most of my time in the experience store." You're so focused on playing the game that you don't even notice me, right? β
Lin Xue was stunned: "Uh...... Like, huh. β
She was stunned for a moment, and said to Chen Mo: "Hurry up, give me a strategy!" This game is so difficult, my head is too big to play! β
Chen Mo said: "What strategy do you want, isn't the fun of the game just to figure it out by yourself?" Add a gas, I'm optimistic about you. β
After Chen Mo finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Lin Xue was the only one left sulking here.
On the barrage, water friends swiped the screen one after another.
"Damn, I really caught Chen Mo!"
"He's so bad! Still as always! Ah Xue, beat him for me! β
"Got a gas? So non-mainstream? β
"I feel like he did it on purpose, deliberately making the game so difficult! Ah, this vinegar raw! β
"Ah Xue, don't be angry, come on, you can definitely do it!"
"It's really Chen Mo's consistent style, note Gusheng 2333"
Lin Xue glared at Chen Mo's back a little unconvinced, then sat down and started the game again.
β¦β¦
As the days go by, and as the deadline approaches, major game companies are preparing in earnest.
Soon, some of the game's intel flowed out.
Originally, the attention of martial arts and Xianxia themes in China was not so high, but after all, this is also a major event in the game circle, so players are all looking at it with the mentality of the people who eat melons.
The most eye-catching is the new game "Edgeworth" of Zen Mutual Entertainment, and now many trial screens and original scenes have been exposed, and players are looking forward to it.
"Edgeworth" is a stand-alone Xianxia game, and its world view is related to "Legend of Edgeworth", which is also to rub its own IP.
In terms of art, I don't have to say anything, the scenes are beautiful, and the accuracy of the character models is also very high, which is basically the top level.
In terms of combat, "Edgeworth" is turn-based, and the combat system is also very rich, including various magic weapons, magic weapons, spirit beasts, and so on.
In fact, from the technical level, this game can be completely made into real-time combat, but Yao Yu thought about it for a long time and decided to do a turn-based one.
For online games, real-time battles are the mainstream mode, because in the battle is ever-changing, if it is turn-based, each player will have a long time to think, then the rhythm of the whole game will be slowed down, and the vast majority of players can't wait.
But for stand-alone games, turn-based is beneficial, players don't have to play in such a hurry, they can think slowly and develop combat strategies, and at the same time, for designers, it is easier to control in terms of layout monsters, level difficulty, combat system, game rhythm, etc.
Like Chen Mo's previous life, the domestic stand-alone game could be used for real-time combat as early as the "Swordsman Love" period, but the problem is that a large part of the players in this type of game are female players and handicapped players, for them, the main fun of this stand-alone game is to explore, collect, cultivate, and solve puzzles, and the coolness of the battle is not particularly important. Therefore, the follow-up domestic stand-alone games, such as the "Fairy Sword" series, also follow the turn-based system considering the investment and return.
Moreover, this is mainly to take care of the preferences of those judges.
For Chen Mo, real-time combat is not impossible to do, but in terms of the game characteristics of "The Legend of Martial Arts", changing real-time combat means a major overhaul of the entire combat system, and a comprehensive overhaul of skill filters, hit effects, etc., means that the workload is doubled, and the judges don't necessarily like it, which is a thankless thing.
If you want to play a large-scale role-playing martial arts game in the future, it is more appropriate to do a large-scale real-time battle.
Therefore, Chen Mo and Yao Yu have a tacit understanding at this point, and adopt a turn-based combat method.
The main gimmick of "Edgeworth" this time is still in the plot, this time the game plot is by one of the main creators of "Legend of Edgeworth", the plot designer Yao Yu personally handled, this script has also been repeatedly revised many times, is the main selling point of the game.
Although this game is mainly for the judges, the reaction of the players is also one of the contents considered by the judges.
Therefore, the promotion of Zen Mutual Entertainment is simply terrifying, and the promotional materials of "Edgeworth" can be seen almost everywhere in various game media, various website advertising spaces, Weibo and major player forums.
Even in some Q&A communities, "how to evaluate the new game "Edgeworth Romance" of Zen Mutual Entertainment" was also put on top, and a few answers that had been arranged long ago quickly gained seven or eight thousand approvals.
Players are also discussing.
"Zen entertainment, this is not enough? Why can I take the subway to see the promotional poster of "Edgeworth"? β
"It's really a waste of money for this first prize!"
"Yao Yu personally handles it, this plot will definitely not be bad!"
"My circle of friends is so swiped by this game, convinced."
"Isn't Chen Mo going to do it too? What about his new game? Why is there no movement? β
"Yes, didn't you say before that Chen Mo was also going to make a Chinese-style stand-alone game, why can't you see the publicity and promotion at all?"
"Chen Mo has never been willing to spend too much money on publicity and promotion, it's not that you don't know!"
"Then how can this be entertained with Zen! Good wine is also afraid of deep alleys! β
"Alas, maybe Chen Mo has confidence in his game. But I really feel like he's going to plant it this time! β
The people who eat melons have speculated that this Zen mutual entertainment will not hesitate to spend money, and it should be to win the first prize. After all, Zen Mutual Entertainment has the deepest accumulation in the Xianxia theme, and considering the taste of the judges, it is basically difficult for other games to compete with them.
As a result, at this juncture, a Weibo caused an uproar.
Chen Mo: "The theme song of the new game "The Legend of the Martial Arts Heroes" "Sword Like a Dream" is the first to audition, I won't tell you that this is sung by Zhou Yifeng." β
There is a link below Weibo, and you can listen to it directly.
As soon as this Weibo was issued, the onlookers were shocked, what is it? Zhou Yifeng?
That's a first-line singer, and his singing skills are top-notch!
In fact, part of the video of Chen Mo's new game "The Legend of Martial Arts" has already flowed out, and Lin Xue has been live for so long, many of Lin Xue's viewers have already seen the game content.
But Lin Xue's audience is only many, and the vast majority of players still don't know what kind of game "The Legend of Martial Arts" is, but I heard that this is a martial arts game.
Many people think that Chen Mo's making this game is the same as other game companies, it is nothing more than casually playing for the judges of the game committee, and he will not take it too seriously, so he doesn't pay so much attention to it.
As a result, as soon as this Weibo was released, players found that Chen Mo really spent his money!
The players who had insisted that Chen Mo would not spend too much money on publicity and promotion were immediately slapped in the face, isn't this called spending too much money?
Invite Zhou Yifeng to sing the theme song, which is much more valuable than advertising!
It's too handy!
